or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your
country.
Page 13
Switching on/connecting the units
Why don’t the power-on light of the baby unit
and the parent unit go on when I switch on the
units?
• Perhaps the rechargeable battery of the
parent unit is empty and the parent unit
is not connected to the mains. Insert the
appliance plug into the parent unit and put the
adapter in a wall socket. Then press and hold
the on/off button to switch on the parent unit
and to establish connection with the baby unit.
• Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the
mains and the non-rechargeable batteries in
the baby unit are empty or there are no nonrechargeable batteries in the baby unit at all.
Connect the baby unit to the mains or put new
non-rechargeable batteries in the baby unit.
Then set the on/off switch of the baby unit to
ON position to establish connection with the
parent unit.
Why doesn’t the parent unit charge when I plug
it in?
• The rechargeable battery may have reached the
end of its life. Replace the rechargeable battery.
• Perhaps the adapter is not plugged in properly.
Make sure the adapter is plugged into the wall
socket properly.
Why doesn’t the baby unit charge when I plug
it in?
• The baby unit does not have a charging
function. Put new non-rechargeable batteries in
the baby unit if you want to use the baby unit
cordlessly.
Why can’t I establish a connection? Why is the
connection lost every now and then? Why are
there sound interruptions?
• The baby unit and the parent unit are probably
close to the outer limits of the operating
range or there is interference from other
2.4GHz wireless devices. Try a different
location, decrease the distance between the
units or switch off other 2.4GHz wireless
devices. Please note that it takes about 5
seconds each time before a connection
between the units is re-established.
• If you have two video baby monitors, keep
them at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) away from
each other to prevent interference.
• Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the
mains and the non-rechargeable batteries in
the baby unit are empty or there are no nonrechargeable batteries in the baby unit at all.
Connect the baby unit to the mains or put new
non-rechargeable batteries in the baby unit.
Then set the on/off switch of the baby unit to
ON position to establish connection with the
parent unit.
What happens during a power failure?
• As the parent unit works on a rechargeable
battery, it continues to work if the battery is
sufciently charged. If you have placed non-
rechargeable batteries in the baby unit, the
camera continues to work and you can see
your baby.
Why do the non-rechargeable batteries of the
baby unit run low quickly?
• The baby unit consumes a lot of energy
when you have the video display switched on
continuously, when you play lullabies or when
the nightlight is switched on. We recommend
to always use the baby unit from the mains and
use the batteries for back-up purpose only.
Do not place rechargeable batteries in the baby
unit, as they discharge slowly even when they
are not in use.
ENGLISH
13
Page 14
Why does the charging time of the parent unit
exceed 2.5 hours?
• The parent unit may be switched on during
charging. Switch off the parent unit during
charging.
Why do I need to keep the baby unit and its
cord at least 1 metre/3.5 feet from my baby?
• To avoid strangulation with the cord and for
optimal sound detection, always place the baby
unit and its cord at least 1 metre (3.5 feet)
away from the baby.
Indications on the parent unit
Noise/sound
Why does the video monitor produce a highpitched noise?
• The units may be too close to each other. Make
sure the parent unit and the baby unit are at
least 1.5 metres (5 feet) away from each other
and set the volume to a lower level.
• The volume of the parent unit may be set too
high. Decrease the volume of the parent unit.
Can I increase the volume of the lullaby on the
baby unit?
• No, you can’t.
Why doesn’t the battery status symbol appear
on the video display of the parent unit when I
start to charge the parent unit?
• It may take a few minutes before the battery
symbol appears on the video display of the
parent unit when you charge the parent for the
rst time or after a long period of disuse.
Why do the battery/power-on light and the
battery symbol on the video display ash red?
• If the batter y/power-on light and the
battery symbol on the video display ash
red,the rechargeable battery of the parent unit
is low. Connect the parent unit to the mains to
recharge the battery (see chapter ‘Preparing for
use’).
Why does the parent unit beep?
• If the parent unit beeps while the out-of-
range image appears on the video display, the
connection with the baby unit is lost. Move the
parent unit closer to the baby unit.
• If the parent unit beeps while the batter y/
power-on light and the batter y symbol on the
video display ash red, the rechargeable battery
of the parent unit is low. Connect the parent
unit to the mains to recharge the battery (see
chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
• The baby unit may be switched off. Switch on
the baby unit.
Why don’t I hear a sound/Why can’t I hear
my baby cry?
• The volume of the parent unit may be set too
low or may be switched off. Press the volume
up button to increase the volume level.
• Perhaps you did not remove the protective foil
from the microphone. Make sure all protective
foil has been removed.
• Perhaps you have switched on the voice
activation. If the voice activation is activated, the
video display only switches on when the baby
unit picks up a sound. As long as no sound is
detected, the video display is off to save power.
• Perhaps the video baby monitor is in auto mute.
When the baby unit detects a low sound level,
e.g. the sleeping sound of the baby, the parent
unit automatically mutes the sound output so
that you do not hear this sound. When the
baby starts to cr y, the parent unit automatically
switches on the volume again to let you hear
the crying sound.
• The baby unit may be too far away from your
baby. Make sure the baby unit is not further
than 1.5 metres (5 feet) from your baby, but
not closer than 1 metre (3.5 feet) to avoid a
strangulation hazard.
14
Page 15
Why does the parent unit react too quickly to
other sounds?
• The baby unit also picks up other sounds than
those of your baby. Move the baby unit closer
to the baby (but observe the minimum distance
of 1 metre/3.5 feet).
Why does the parent unit make a buzzing
sound?
• Interference may occur when the parent unit
is out of range of the baby unit. Interference
may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby
unit or when other 2.4GHz wireless devices are
switched on (e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router). Put
the parent unit in a different place, closer to the
baby unit, or switch off other wireless devices.
• The rechargeable battery of the parent unit
may need to be charged.
Operating time/operating range
The specied operating range of the baby
monitor is up to 150 metres/490 feet outdoors
and up to 30 metres/98 feet indoors. Why
does my baby monitor manage a much smaller
distance than that?
• The specied operating range of 150 metres
(490 feet) is only valid outdoors in open air
and in the line of sight. Depending on the
surroundings and other disturbing factors,
the operating range may be smaller. Inside
your house, the operating range is limited by
the number and type of walls and/or ceilings
between the parent unit and the baby unit
The operating time of the parent unit is
supposed to be at least 5.5 hours. Why is
the operating time of my parent unit shorter?
• When the parent unit has been charged for the
rst time, the operating time is shorter because
the battery has not reached its full capacity
yet. The rechargeable battery only reaches its
full capacity after four discharging and charging
cycles. After this, the operating time is 5.5 hours
if the voice activation is not deactivated and
7 hours if the voice activation mode is activated.
• The parent unit consumes a lot of energy when
the video display is switched on continuously.
Activate the voice activation mode to increase
the operating time (see chapter ‘Features’,
section ‘Voice activation’).
• The volume of the parent unit may be set too
high, which causes the parent unit to consume
a lot of energy. Decrease the volume of the
parent unit
• As any other rechargeable electronic device,
the battery capacity decreases after a long
period of usage. If you have any questions you
can always contact consumer care. To purchase
a new rechargeable battery, visit our Philips
online shop www.shop.philips.com/service.
Why do I get interference on the parent unit?
• Interference may occur when the parent unit
is out of range of the baby unit. Interference
may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby
unit or when other 2.4GHz wireless devices are
switched on (e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router). Put
the parent unit in a different place, closer to the
baby unit, or switch off other wireless devices.

Output video display
Why does the video display icker?
• Interference may occur when the parent unit
is out of range of the baby unit. Interference
may also occur if there are too many walls or
ceilings between the parent unit and the baby
unit or when other 2.4GHz wireless devices are
switched on (e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router). Put
the parent unit in a different place, closer to the

• The rechargeable battery of the parent unit
may need to be charged.
Why isn’t there any image on the video display
when the battery/power-on light is on?
• The parent unit may be in the voice activation
mode. Press the voice activation button again to
switch on the video display.
Why isn’t the image on the video display clear?
• The display brightness may be set too low.
Increase the display brightness (see chapter
‘Features’, section ‘Adjusting display brightness’).
• Perhaps you did not remove the protective foil
from the video display. Remove the protective
foil.
Why doesn’t the parent unit work in the voice
activation mode?
• The distance between the baby and the baby
unit may be too large to pick up sounds from
the baby. Make sure that the baby unit is placed
1 to 1.5 metres (3.5 to 5 feet) away from the
baby.
Why isn’t the image on the video display clear
in night vision?
• The distance between the baby and the baby
unit may be too large. Make sure that the baby
unit is placed 1 to 1.5 metres
(3.5 to 5 feet) away from the baby.
• Sometimes it is possible to see a greenish image
when the infrared lights are on. This is normal
due to external factors.
